b Cause Work Doesn't Have to SuckAuthor: Erin Hatzikostas
A podcast obsessed with helping GenX(ish) leaders, who should be at the top of their careers but don't feel like they are. The b Cause Work Doesn't Have to Suck podcast isn't another boring, stuffy leadership podcast. And it doesn't bring you a gazillion guests who had the guts to "ef" the 9-5, seemingly the only answer to truly being happy in your career. Instead, this podcast is focused on helping you continue to rise in your career, but doing it without compromising everything else - your family, your health, or maybe even who you are. Erin, a former corporate CEO turned Authentic Leadership expert, teams up with her good friend, Nicole, an ivy league grad and professional do-gooder. Nicole lays it all on the line to share her real-time work highs, lows, contemplations, and sometimes barely believable stories. And Erin coaches and cajoles her (really, you) along the way...all in the name of helping you feel less insane, more inspired. Erin also interviews authentic leaders and experts who are focused on giving you the stories, advice, and tips that will have you making small, creative changes that will help you contend with and catapult your career. Grab a drink, put your feet up, and come along for a journey that will involve career advice, unsanitized thoughts, leadership lessons, important guests, and who the hell knows what else. b Cause work DOESN'T have to suck.

Tweetable Comments "The same people you're doing business with are the same humans who can't watch an Instagram video if they're not captured in three seconds." "With this overflow of information and AI-generated emails and blah blah blah, the best thing you can do is pattern interrupt." "Just using those fun little flippant sayings you'd use with your best friend over a quarter glass of wine is enough for people to stop, smile, and read what you have to say." "Change one word and you'll change the game."
